The 2009 Swedish Touring Car Championship season was the 14th Swedish Touring Car Championship (STCC) season. It was decided over nine race weekends (comprising eighteen races) at six different circuits. Tommy Rustad won the drivers' championship for the second time. The ethanol powered Volvo C30 of Polestar Racing proved to be the fastest car over one lap, as evidenced by them setting all fastest qualifying times during the season (although grid penalties ruined the perfect score), but they were plagued by bad reliability. Instead, Thed Björk, driving for Flash Engineering, lead the championship most of the season, only to be overtaken in the last race. The team championship also went down to the wire, with Polestar Racing besting WestCoast Racing by one point in the last race. The entry of the Biogas.se team with their Volkswagen Scirocco meant the debut of a biogas powered car in STCC. Unfortunately, they had trouble matching the pace of the other factory teams and ended up last in the team championship. ==Changes for 2009== There were several rule changes for the 2009 season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sporting regulations STCC 2009 )〕 Race format changes: * Two races of approximately 20 minutes were held each race weekend. * There were no mandatory pitstops in either race. * The starting grid of the first race was determined by qualifying. * The starting grid of the second race was determined by the results from the first race with the top eight positions reversed. * The qualifying was divided into two sessions, where the eight fastest from the first (20 minutes) session moved on to the second (10 minutes) session. * Both races used rolling starts. Other changes: * Yokohama replaced Michelin as tyre supplier. * Each race weekend, the team that scored most points received a price sum of 100.000 SEK. For this purpose, some of the one-car teams combined together two and two. * The winner of the team championship was awarded an additional 100.000 SEK. * The manufacturers' championship was dropped. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2009 Swedish Touring Car Championship season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
